Xmas Spritz
This recipe easy and the cookies bake up quickly. Perfect for any mom who is tight for time but wants some small pretty cookies to put out during the holiday season. I love this recipe for our annual cookie exchange because I can make them ahead of time and store them in the freezer.

Kids Artsy Xmas Cookies
This recipe is a family tradition. December hasn't even arrived yet and the kids are already asking me when we'll bake them! It's baking and painting all at once, and tastes as good as it looks! All you need is your favourite shortbread recipe (one is provided if you don't have one), some food colouring, 4 new fine paintbrushes, and an assortment of cookie cutters (preferrably the ones that have a pattern inside of them).

Gingerbread Elf House
